XnView Software

I like the idea of tab sessions to restore multiple opened images, but there are a couple issues that make it unreliable which, for such a feature, makes it risky to use and therefore not only useless, but worse than nothing, because it can lead to the expectation that the session will be saved ...

Ctrl+Tab should, at least optionally, switch between most recent tabs (like browsers) vs just cycling through them in order.

Bumping this as this issues has now gone 2.5 years unresolved and without response since posted, and my post a year ago regarding it also didn't get an admin response. This seems like it should be a relatively minor fix, yet it's a major issue for actual use and is the main reason I've never really ...

Few suggestions/requests:

- When renaming, pressing left when the filename is highlighted (right after the dialog opens) should move the cursor to the beginning of the filename, like pressing home, as it does in most file managers. Not only would this be useful because it's what I'm accustomed to ...

It's working for me now, too. It appears the keyboard settings are only applied on application restart. I tried both settings individually and they both continue working the way they were until restarting XnViewMP.

I tried setting the spacebar to start/stop animation, but it won't work. I've set Interface > Keyboard > SPACE to "No action" with no change. Searching the forum, I see others have reported the same problem, only with different actions, in the past, of which at least one was fixed, so not sure if ...

That one is already available:

Tools > Settings > Interface -- Keyboard tab -- Left/Right -- Previous/next file

That changes the current tab to the previous/next file, as it says, it does not switch to the previous/next tab.

Do you mean make a separate thread for each suggestion?

Used this again for the first time in a while and pretty quickly ran across several things that could use improvement, so here's my ideas/requests:

- When enough tabs are open to require them to scroll, selecting a tab shouldn't move the tabs to place the selected one at the end. The tabs should ...

Other options would be:

1) Add "Iconify tabs" (and perhaps "Tab settings..." as well) to the context menu when clicking on tabs instead of just when clicking on empty space, or at least on the browse tab;
2) Add a small amount of empty space (doesn't have to be much) at the end of the tabs that ...

Thanks for the tips! Certainly helpful, though I do hope Pierre will consider the improvements suggested, since it's easier to simply have the browser tab always show as opposed to having to iconify the tabs, not to mention remembering to do so (though admittedly, considering the toolbar icon, this ...

Thanks! Very helpful. It took me a minute to find the category filter (I was looking in the toolbar, particularly the filter drop-down), but it looks like it will work even better, since it allows simply looking for and selecting the desired tag(s) instead of having to know what to search for, and ...

If you navigate to a photo in Windows file explorer, right-click, go to properties, switch to the details tab, under the "Description" group (the first one), there's a "Tags" line. That's where the photos I've gone through and tagged so far with another software are tagged. In XnViewMP, they show in ...

If a folder is filtered to show a certain file type and a file is selected, changing the filter should keep your place, leaving the selected file in view. For example, I was using it to view a bunch of non-image files with associated preview images for each one, so I filtered it to show only images ...

AFAICT, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but XnViewMP can read the tags in a file's properties (the ones you see when viewing the file's properties in Windows Explorer on the details tab), but when adding tags using XnViewMP, it apparently only does so in the sidecar files or whatever database ...
